Have you ever given a gift and thought it just looked PLAIN?
Here is a SUPER DUPER easy
{ yes...I just said super duper...}
QUICK (we're talkin 30 seconds ladies) gift topper TUTORIAL!!!
Behold the GIFT TAG / CARD HOLDER....
Gather your lovely supplies....
* vintage charms from Grandma*
*clothes pins*
*lace, ribbon, ric rac, etc*
*Glue gun*
Now pick out your FAVORITE lace or piece of trim....cut it to just a tad bit longer than your clothes pin
Put a dab of glue on the INSIDE of the top and bottom of your clothes pin
*do each step separately and don't let your pin close...if you do it will get stuck together - TRUST ME...I did it*
Place your lace ends on your dabs of glue
Now glue down your FAVORITE embellishments...
You can use BUTTONS, CHARMS, BOWS, FLOWERS, anything you want to jazz these babies up!
Each pin i made different...some I added two layers of trimming - some bigger accents than others...have fun with them - you can't go wrong!
You can even add a MAGNET on to the top back of these and then they double as not only pretty on your package but then they can put it up on their fridge after to display their favorite pics!
a TWO IN ONE...you can't beat that - especially for a 30 second tutorial!
Now go and make a whole handful of these babies to have on hand when the holidays roll around...and don't forget to make a couple for yourself as well! :)
HAPPY CRAFTING!

I so love these! :) Ive made clothes pin magnets before.. but just funny little ones using craft foam paper, did it with the kids. We made fun characters and such. They loved it... but these are simply gorgeous!! I will have to make some of these too!
